News Archive : STEPS leadership programs

Mount Mercy welcomed 20 freshmen into the STEPS (Striving Towards Engaged and Purposeful Servant-Leadership) program during a special induction ceremony on Thursday, January 3, in Mount Mercy’s Stello Performance Hall.

For one hour students at Mount Mercy struggled to pay rent, put food on their tables, and maintain stable employment. The experience was part of a poverty simulation held on campus Sunday, January 22, which gave students a taste of real-life situations that are becoming all too familiar in today's society.
